PAPER BARRELS.
Successful Adaptation of Pulp to an
ImportanI Industry.

Important Industry.
New York Tribune: The growing
scarcity of the timber supply has given
rise to the serious question of how to
produce packages for oil, liquors and
similar substances which will meet the
has at different times during the
last twenty years led to various at.
tempts to produce a paper barrel
which would answer all the purposes for
which the wooden barrel is used. These
attempts. however, have been attended
with no practical success until recently,
when barrel was produced from paper
pulp which seems destined to supersede
the wooden article. Its general appear
ance is that of the common wooden bar
rel thickly vanished, while only five
pieces are used in making 1t. 1t is bound
with ordinary wooden hoops, and the
head Is of one piece, so constructed that
it fits into the barrel air-tight and is held
firmly IN place by a hoop without the use
of nails, The body is seamless, and the
intarlof and exterior are glazed with q
substance which renders the barrel i'm
peryous to moisture, SO that liquids of
all kinds can be transported In it without
loss. 1t IS also very strong and stiff, not
easily broken, and as the nature OF the
compressed paper Is such that neither
dry nor damp weather affects 1t, the con-
tents retain all theif aromatic qualities.
There are numerQgs other excellent
qualities claimed Tor this barrel.
On January rs Thomas Dougherty, the
chief -four Inspector of the New York
produce exchange, certified that he had
inspected 150 oprrels of flour which had
been shipped from distance in these
paper barrels and had found them to be
all sound. 1t generally happens when
flour is shipped in wooden barrels that
quantity OF it Sits through the cracks
where the slaves join and is lost. 1t was
found by weighing the flour shipped in
paper barrels that none of it had been
lost in this manner.
The inventors of this process for max
ing these barrels say that the weeds and
rank grasses which grow on the meadows
lying between Jersey City and Newark
will produce an excellent pulp for this
purpose, and that thus these practically
waste lands may be made productive and
profitable. The cost of manufacturing
the paper barrels Is no greater than that
of making the wooden article, and with
the patented machine it IS said that two
men can produce 700 barrels In day.

fore him. 1t is she who must toll TO
get living for helpless little ones,
whilst the brutal husband spends his
all at the dram shop. II is she, at
last, who falls beneath tho cruel blows
